BARA publishes Machine Safety Conference programme

BARA has now published the programme for the first of the two Machine Safety Conferences that it is organising in 2008. These events are aimed at specifiers and designers of machinery and safety-related electrical control systems (SRECS), and managers and engineers responsible for machinery safety within their work environment. [See this announcement about the BARA Machine Safety Conference 2010 - Ed.]

The conference programme has therefore been designed to cover existing and forthcoming standards, the practical application of the existing standards (through the use of case studies), and there will be opportunities for discussions with the presenters and exhibitors.

Highlights of the conference are as follows:

Philip Parry of the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) will discuss Functional Safety in Machinery and Industrial Automation: An update of Standards.
